Training for councillors and clerks is provided by the Association for a
variety of purposes. It is as true in Local Councils as it is in life that
the only constant is change, therefore the continual development of councillors
and clerks is as necessary as in any other area of employment. There are
two types of training provided. Regular Training via the County Training
Partnership (CTP) which is part of the National Training Strategy and provides
standardised, quality training from a variety of providers. Secondly there
are specialised training sessions about particular subjects. As these are
less "regular" they will be placed on this page as and when necessary.
Naturally, the Association is aware that few of the Local Councils can
provide training on the scale of their District, Unitary or County Councils,
hence the following programme has been developed to ensure that your council can
keep abreast of developments, be aware of changes in the law and is operating
legally.
For details of venues, times and costs, please contact Susan
Harding.
